“We are regular here - the food, service, and atmosphere are always great! It has an old school classic diner type of feel with a mix of booths and tables. The drip coffee is excellent. The have French vanilla creamer for the coffee, which is what we usually request. Our regular breakfast items that are consistently fresh and delicious are the breakfast burrito, pancakes with strawberries, and omelettes. They make their own salsa in house, too, which you can also buy by the pint. 10/10 recommend!“

“I've tried a bunch of Thai spots around LA, and this one is definitely up there. The pad kee mao had the perfect amount of spice, the curry was rich and packed with flavor, and everything tasted super fresh. Portions were generous, so I had enough left over for lunch the next day. The staff was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. The place has a relaxed, no-frills vibe where the food is clearly the main focus. I'll definitely be back because there are still a ton of dishes I want to try.“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.
Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“
“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“Very kind and attentive server who seemed to be handling half the restaurant by himself.
Tofu soup was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They're generous with their bonchon (sides), but I didn't like how watery the kimchi was. Bulgogi was fine.
I'm interested in seeing what other Korean restaurants LA has to offer, but based off this experience, I've had better Korean food for cheaper in Vancouver and Dallas.“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent.

“Couldn’t be more happy about my experience today. The staff were very kind and helpful and the food was beyond fulfilling. Nothing cheers me up more than ramen and Kai took it that much higher. Something about the tonkotsu in addition to the charsiu pork absolutely reigned based on my memory of LA selections. I don’t think I’ll ever get this close to thins location any time soon but I’m glad it left a valuable place in my ramen filled heart. ❤“

“Broth was delicious. The deep umami and subtlety of clam notes made the ramen stock special. Adding the sides they offer like, garlic crisps, were a plus. However, in my opinion, I felt like the ramen noodles did not give the dish its 100%. My partner said it was good overall and I am just slightly nitpicking due to personal preferences of noodles, which were too dense to my liking. I felt like the noodles took away the broth’s complexity rather than a nice balance. At the end I just kept drinking the soup. The chashu pork was tender and not dry at all.
Aside from the ramen, the appetizers such as the karaage, were crunchy and slightly juicy on the inside. The takoyaki was also nice as well.
Overall, the vibe of the restaurant felt cozy and modern, yet I wish they could have played some music to add a little more atmosphere. Service was prompt and quick.“

“Amazing vegan ramen with great flavors. There's something for everyone here! The signature ramen with gyoza comes with a smokey flavor that was delightful. I particularly loved the yuzu sesame ramen. The curry ramen was perfect for my mom who likes Indian flavors, the garlic miso ramen is great for garlic lovers and the spicy miso is great for those who like spice! Will definitely come back!“

“What you don't know is the menu can be a bit redundant. Besides the sandwiches, everything is a variation of itself. I fount the Boureg to be some of the best I've ever had. This is definitely a lunch spot, the bites are pretty small. I like this casual, large glass windowed eatery.“

“The best Japanese curry in LA, and we have tried a lot of places, believe me!!! Has options for vegetarians and vegans too! The miso soup comes with a lot of the meals and it's so good too. The staff know us now and they are all lovely! It's pretty small inside so probably not the best for a super big group but great for a more intimate night out and of course take out as well!“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. The spicy seolleongtang had plenty of beef and a nice kick, and the braised short ribs were tender and flavorful. The kimchi dumplings were also really good. Everything came out hot and comforting. Definitely a great spot in Ktown for a casual Korean meal!“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“A small, local hole in the wall for sure, tho it's just across irving middle school 🤩 I'm born and raised in Glendale, and I hate that I didn't notice this place sooner, as it's a bit hard to spot on the main street while driving.
My husband and I came for lunch. We ordered the Special pho and beef pho, which was about 18$ and 17$ with tax, and a thai tea. All were delicious, and portion size matched the price point 🫶🏽 I couldn't finish all of mine, but husband gobbled his down quick
The restaurant is quaint and the space small but not tight. There was plenty of seating indoors, and kept cool in the summer heat 👍🏼
Free parking is behind the building, fitting about 3-4 cars, as well as limited free street parking 👍🏼“

“Swadikaa 🙏
if it has to be Thai, it has to be NAT
One of the best Thai food experiences in Los Angeles! If you're a Thai food lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. And if you haven't tried it yet, you're truly missing something in life.
The food is authentic, incredibly flavorful, and the portions are amazing — one dish is easily enough for two people. Every bite feels like comfort food made with love.
What makes this place even more special is the owner and chef, Nata. She serves every guest with so much warmth and care that you'll feel as if your own mother is cooking and serving you. She is sweet, approachable, open to suggestions, and always makes you feel right at home.
Great conversations, outstanding hospitality, and unforgettable food — this place has it all. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. Highly recommended, and definitely one of the hidden gems of Los Angeles!“

“Hole-in-the-wall place specializing in simple soups and soondae (Korean blood sausage). It’s run by an older Korean woman who doesn’t speak any English but is super sweet. It makes me sad that I hardly see anyone in there but I don’t know why since the food is good and affordable. It may confuse people that the sign says Golmok Restaurant. I’ve ordered the spicy soondae soup and the small soondae plate. I prefer the soondae plate because I think the soup makes the soondae a bit soggy and the plate is a bigger portion.“

“It’s a family run restaurant and the atmosphere is very friendly! Food is amazing as well. The beef and tendon is very delicious even with No salt and MSG added ahead. We can eat it with soy sauce or give it directly to our children! And the beef tail bone soup is amazing! Absolutely 5 star recommended ❤“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.
wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.
i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang not bbq, i got some nods of approval 🤣 One korean man came up to my table after i ate once and asked me how i know this soup because it's controversial with even koreans.
But i loveeee fermented foods. and honestly, anytime i was sick this soup made me better in a day. I miss living so close to it, i have to make special trips to go now.
I tell all lovers of korean food to go here!“

“My parents came out of town and wanted to try fresh raw crab and after browsing multiple websites we landed on this restaurant. The crab was perfect and exactly what they were craving. Food was really good and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely go back when they are back in town.“

“I recently came back to Gobawoo after many years, and I was honestly impressed that the food tasted exactly the way I remembered. It’s becoming harder and harder to find restaurants that can maintain the same quality over such a long period of time, but Gobawoo has done just that. This place has been around for many years, and after this visit, it’s easy to understand why it continues to have such a loyal customer base. We ordered the bossam, acorn jelly, noodles, and seafood pancake, and every single dish was outstanding. The bossam was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor without being greasy. The acorn jelly was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and had a wonderful texture. The noodles were simple yet comforting, with a rich, satisfying flavor that paired perfectly with the other dishes. The seafood pancake was one of the highlights of the meal—it was crispy and golden on the outside, soft inside, and packed with plenty of seafood in every bite. The portions were also very generous, so we left feeling completely satisfied. Even during lunch, the restaurant was packed with customers, and there was a constant flow of people coming in. That alone says a lot about how popular and well-respected this restaurant is. Despite being busy, the service was friendly and efficient, and the staff made sure everything came out quickly. The atmosphere felt warm, lively, and welcoming, making the meal even more enjoyable. The prices are very fair considering the excellent quality of the food and the generous portions. Expect to spend around $30 to $70 per person depending on what you order and whether you’re sharing dishes. If you’re visiting the area or looking for authentic Korean food, Gobawoo is absolutely worth your time. It’s one of those classic restaurants that has earned its reputation through consistency rather than trends. Every dish tasted homemade, authentic, and prepared with care. I truly appreciate restaurants that continue to serve the same great food year after year, and Gobawoo is a perfect example of that. I will definitely be coming back again, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious, traditional Korean food. Be sure to order the bossam and the seafood pancake—they are absolute must-tries—but honestly, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“We ordered both the mul naengmyeon and bibim naengmyeon, and both were excellent. The portions were very generous, and the broth was especially refreshing and flavorful.
I didn’t realize it while I was eating, but I did feel a little puffy afterward, so it was probably a bit high in sodium. Still, that’s pretty common with naengmyeon, and it didn’t take away from the experience.
The food was satisfying, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Korean cold noodles.“

“It is your typical mom and pop's Korean soup joint. The atmosphere is like a cafeteria filled with photos of the past, simple and clean. It has a small menu, but the soup base is amazing. The beef broth has tremendous amount of flavor, clean, rich, the beef and tendons are succulent. The soup is not seasoned (salted) so you can taste the original beef flavor, and you can add the salt as you like it. The simple meal for two is about $50. It was a great find for us.“

“I visited this place on 04/07/2026, and saying that I liked it would be an understatement.
The service was 100 out of 10. The waiter knew the menu very well and was able to make great recommendations. I ordered the coconut milk soup with seafood, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it, and the portion was very generous.
We also ordered chicken and drinks. Honestly, the amount of food they brought us could easily feed three people. For $49 total, it was definitely worth it.
I also want to mention the honesty and kindness of the staff. I accidentally left my AirPods at the table, and the waitress found my car in the parking lot and personally returned them to me. That really impressed me and says a lot about the level of service and care they provide.
The atmosphere was calm, pleasant, and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again.“

“Going to miss this place now that it's closing down. Got introduced to this place by a friend and been going to eat there sense. The food is good, love the honey sesame chicken, the prices are fairly low compared to any food location around the area. They're very generous with the amount of protein they give too. This was the place to go if you didn't want to spend money and now it's closing. Going to miss they're water too, it was nice and cool, perfect. I suggest visiting they're sister location in Ktown and giving them support as they're a family owned business that's been in the community for a long time.“

“I have tried so many Pho places in my little lifetime and all I can say is this is the BEST! This little hidden gem in K-Town serves a flavorful bowl of goodness. I’ve been coming here for years and they are still consistent with the great food they provide. On top of the Pho I also recommend the 4 season rolls which are very yummy and the refreshing and creamy Thai Tea. I always bring my friends and family here and our belly’s are always satisfied. It doesn’t get better than this!“

“Best Thai food in town by far!!!
I’ve eaten there twice and have tried their green curry, Penang curry, pad Thai, and papaya salad and all are 10/10.
And their Thai tea is a MUST!!!
Two thumbs up 👍
Looking forward to going back and trying everything on their menu.“
